— Judges 11:4, NET Bible
“And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.”
“And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. ”
“It happened after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.”
“In those days the children of Ammon made war against Israel.”
“Now after a time the children of Ammon made war against Israel.”
“And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.”
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a brave warrior. His mother was a prostitute, but Gilead was his father.
Gilead’s wife also gave him sons. When his wife’s sons grew up, they made Jephthah leave and said to him,“You are not going to inherit any of our father’s wealth, because you are another woman’s son.”
So Jephthah left his half-brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah’s gang and traveled with him.
It was some time after this when the Ammonites fought with Israel.
When the Ammonites attacked, the leaders of Gilead asked Jephthah to come back from the land of Tob.
They said,“Come, be our commander, so we can fight with the Ammonites.”
Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead,“But you hated me and made me leave my father’s house. Why do you come to me now, when you are in trouble?”
